The seedling sale has a long-standing tradition of planting trees and shrubs that create habitat and protect water quality. Trees reduce the amount of storm-water runoff, which reduces erosion and water pollution while stabilizing shorelines, reducing the effects of flooding. And our selection of plants includes native trees, shrubs, and perennials that support birds and pollinators.Why native plants?Plants native to our area provide food and shelter for nesting birds and nectar and pollen for specialist pollinators like many of our native bees. Our backyards, gardens, and parks can provide vital habitat for pollinators and birds, especially if we choose native plants well suited to our growing conditions. We will once again have a selection of cost-effective native plant plugs. These small perennial starts are a thrifty way to get a head start on creating your backyard habitat. From shade to sun, we have you covered. Be sure to shop before the deadline of March 27. Plants will be sold online only, on a first-come first-reserved basis, and there are limited quantities of seedlings.Start your fruitful landscape.You'll find thornless blackberries and Red Lake currants and other native shrubs that produce fruit. Shiro plums and Georgia peaches, selected for disease resistance, are a great start to your home orchard.Note: TREES & SHRUBS ARE BARE ROOT.  These must be planted the weekend of receipt. Keep in a cool, dark place, with a damp root-covering such as wet newspaper. Bareroot planting reduce the chance of transporting invasive organisms, and reduces plant prices, a savings we pass on to you.
